Hi, I'm Guy. And I have a vibe coding problem.

It's not even good for your teeth. It does take off a few IQ points though... so that's nice.

Probably because it would grant lower friction access to Nostr for one of the largest user groups in the world? I think they have like 2-3 billion accounts or something.

Its not about you though, its about broader access to users.

Take the guy's explanation as you will. After having tested it myself on a few things I'm not so sure i can confidently call bullshit on this being a one or two pass attempt without that much guidance. It is able to do some amazing stuff and its particularly good at videos it seems.

I didn’t prompt it but it came from twitter. The guy said he gave it sumo and a vision model account access too but supposedly this was with very little direction and it just spit this whole thing out.
I’ve had it edit one of my videos of only my recording and it did pretty damn good for a first run with no direction. I won’t use it, but I’m immediately placing it in my workflow for editing and building macros for the show.

Whenever I'm having a real sh*t day, the two things that help me get my head right:
• Setting out to get one small win that has nothing to do with what i was planning to work on (change the stupid toilet paper holder that keeps getting loose and hanging down, hang the curtain rods i've been putting off for weeks, etc).
• Clean the room. Get rid of the boxes i needed to deal with forever. Take that box of random screws and bits and little tools that i didn't have a good place for and actually go through and organize them properly, throw away what doesn't fit into my system.
Inevitably ill get some sense of progress and I'll feel a little bit more capable of dealing with the forever failing or forever "next week" projects that span years and weigh on everything else i try to do. What's your process?

Just switched to @npub1wht…r3ec for my agent conversation and all I did was give my current agent a prompt I copied from the white noise app and then sent it a message.
I did this while we were in the middle of chatting with @nprofile…atvg on the Roundtable. This is so cool 😂🔥

I’m not talking about key rotation.
When I say delegation I mean “signing to approve other keys” so that client keys are ephemeral and specific to the client. In other words, my Nostr key only posts a list of attestation that say “these 10 keys are all me” same as I log into websites and say “these sessions are all mine” using cookies and account credentials.
I’m not saying that’s foolproof or not without trade offs. As I said, I’m happy to hear about alternatives and don’t know why you jumped to “why are you ignoring Frost” like I’m aware there is some perfect solution and pretending it doesn’t exist on purpose.
Specifically regarding frost, I’ve only loosely investigated it and how it could work with this UX issue. I thought of it as a different purpose tool but I think Max mentioned the same thing to me at one point but I haven’t had the time to get deep into it

“Klippsteined his own name?” I’m not sure what the reference is. I’ve had my issues with the Swan service in the past (although minor) and that’s why I don’t advertise them anymore. But I also don’t have any problem with Cory.
I always have guests that someone somewhere has a problem with. As much as it would be nice if there was an easy way to figure out how to micro-please every last person’s preference at any particular time, trying to do so is a fool’s errand. I simply talk to people I like to talk to or want to hear thoughts from. I enjoyed chatting with Cory.
Glad you care enough to comment though and hope you still generally enjoy the show 🙏🏻

I say this because I just went to desktop to post a video and realized I wasn’t signed in and then decided it wasn’t worth it and went on to other work.
I don’t have my nsec just lying around because I value the account and network… but because of that using this on all of my devices is both a pain and also unsafe to break out my private keys and copy paste them in a bunch of apps and web browsers.

2026-09-25 16:45:29 UTC

Not being able to quickly and safely sign into another client or device is such a friction with Nostr. I really think it’s the most important problem to solve in the short and medium term. And I do *not* think remote signing with another device or running nsecbunker or having your phone find some trick to stay alive in the background to be a signer is the solution. They are clever and useful for some, but ultimately only a tiny, tiny minority will deal with those things.
I’ve thought for years we just need a key signing delegation. It’s the equivalent of session cookies online. The problem simply requires a robust and decentralized way to sync and share active “session keys” that can be safely and quickly revoked when needed.
I’m also not saying that’s an easy problem either. I’m simply saying I don’t see anyway we get the “web experience” but also the security of signed messages and not needing to trust the host or relay without it. I’d love to hear other ideas for it though. I’m working on what I described above right now though.

If you are using a Mk3 through the Q and didn't use a lot of dice rolls in generating your keys, consider it compromised and move to any quick location you can find. If you have another wallet without a coldcard, send it there, if you have a trusted exchange send it there temporarily, if you can create a quick software wallet send it there. Make sure all the normal process and backups are done carefully during this and then prepare for a better multisig setup for your replacement.
My tools i used with a couple of people and for myself when i couldn't remember which software i set up one of my CC keys with:
- connect CC to sparrow, import and it will find any and all related keys and balances. You can send from there to any new keys or non CC keys you have
- generate a new key or hell if you are limited just send it to a good exchange like river to get it out of harms way as quick as you can. You can get a better setup after you get it out of immediate danger

There are no reserve requirements for banks. They can issue as much debt as they want from nothing at all. This is normal and could never have massive, systemic negative consequences so don't think about it.

Could not be less relevant to anything said here.
Nothing i said made any claim at all about whether you should run a pruned versus a full node.
The data above is exactly the same no matter what you choose. So if you feel that strongly about pruned nodes, don't run one. Nobody anywhere in any way said you should run one or the other so i don't know what you're wigging out about.

That seems like a lot of work to demonstrate the obvious. 😆 I mean just off the top of my head I can see dozens of different motion and muscles that are activated, you have to actually picture the shape and flow of the letter and the word, predict the spacing of the words, etc - there’s numerous things that typing is explicitly supposed to be a shortcut for, thus those things wouldn’t be activated.
I guess I’m not trying to hate, but it seems a little “duh” to me, lol. And when it comes to remembering what you wrote vs typed, it also makes sense that you would retain it a little better when written specifically because tying it to a more intricate and explicit motion actually sets things into the mind more concretely. If every letter and word is different, there’s a lot of pathways being fired. When typing everything is just the same tap motion.

Guy's Take is officially here!
I've got something special for you guys that I'm super excited about.
We've put together a new channel and are shifting to video as the dominant, regular content type for the show. I also am separating out Guy's Takes (shorter form, topic specific videos) as its own medium to keep it separate from the longer form interviews.
Check out the new channel! Subscribe and stay tuned. We've got a ton of stuff coming and so many ideas to dig into. It's a new era for the show. Hope you join me 🫡

There is no false mental model more destructive than the idea that prices are supposed increase over time.
All prices should fall if the economy is more productive. Indefinitely. It is literally only because trillions of dollars are counterfeited from nothing every year, and our time, living standards, home affordability, and critical resources get sucked out of the economy to pay for it that things get more expensive.
It is explicitly unnatural and it’s explicitly because we have fake money and a communist central bank at the lowest layer of our economic system.

Money literally IS a proof of work token. Its entire purpose is to only allow those who have created value, to consume it in proportional amount.
Money doesn’t even benefit society when it’s divorced from this. It can only be a token to transfer wealth *from* those who work for it, to those who counterfeit it. There’s no alternative.

2026-04-23 17:29:43 UTC

There are bugs and vulnerabilities in everything. The internet is literally Swiss cheese.
The reason it’s easy for LLMs to find them isn’t because they are super human deep intelligence cyber security savants. It’s because they can take all the well known vulnerabilities and red/blue testing strategies on 1000x as much code at 1000x the rate as a typical human… and thus they find the holes in the Swiss cheese.
It’s purely about economics. It wasn’t worth paying for 1000s of hours of man hours to find and close every bug in every piece of software. But since exploiting them has just done 1000x and finding them has had the same speed up, we’re gonna see a wave of serious exploits, massive hacks, an probably an era of profound and constant patching at a rate we’ve never seen.
Buckle up. Gonna be fun. 😆

There's a reason why BCHers will never argue the genuine debate and have to dishonestly frame it and latch onto weak conspiracies...
Because they can't. Their only hope is to make it look like the people who actually understood how Bitcoin worked, were just "bad guys." It's how they avoid addressing anything at all of substance on the issue.

Again, do you have any evidence of this at all? Or is this just something that you made up and attached to the fact that Epstein threw money at something?
Seriously you gotta stress test the narrative or you will just accept any nonsense that sounds like it's possible. Where does any correspondence, anywhere, suggest this? And where does it align on the timeline? Does it happen during the blocksize war? Is there any plan mentioned anywhere? Is there a single conversation talking about where to sow this division and how to do it? Give me one concrete conversation where the context is anything like the above. Then i'll entertain it.
But if the argument is that we have to ignore all basic technical arguments, and then imagine conversations that never happened and intentions that were never indicated anywhere... then i don't know what to tell you other than to address any point or answer any basic question i brought up in the videos with something that isn't a "maybe it happened like this."

PART 6/7
So Did Epstein Fund Small Blockers?
If this was in fact his plan, we would expect his investments to be focused on small blockers. We would expect an adversarial relationship with people on the opposing side.
Did the developers funded by MIT push hard for small blocks?
Did his investments and attention go toward small block supporting companies?
Is there another story as to who was really trying to Hijack Bitcoin?

PART 2/7
What was the Blocksize War really about?
(and why couldn't we reach agreement to just "make it bigger?")
This is the nerdy stuff, but important to actually understand the history of all this - especially with the nonsense one will get from Bcashers on what the debate even was.
If you want to skip this, then just jump to the last 30 seconds. One common bcasher claim is that there was always consensus on making the blocks bigger and scaling limits were a completely made up issue. It's worth noting where the debate about scaling bitcoin truly began.

It's time to actually go point by point and see if this actually lines up and if there is a real connection between Epstein and the blocksize war.
